Uhmm, ok if that is how all those people want to spend their game time more power to em. Guess it is better than the lame arguments but I rather PLAY the game. As for the video itself, well it is obviously several groups of synced toons from several places throughout the Guildwars areas. Special effects are over used and the titles are too long.

Maybe it was.....but I do remember seeing this video a *really* long time ago before that automatic sync ability was implemented. Either way - even *with* the auto sync - it is still difficult like you said to get people to even *listen* to hit enter at the same time like that! lol Nice clean look to it, but I agree also with your assessment that the "effects" were the stars, and not the music and action, etc etc......there *are* much better ones out there - and one of my very favorites is one where a guy spelled out "I love you" in dropped items set to music for his girlfriend!! Lemme see if I can find it and then add it on here as my first "add"
I'm 110% positive that this video was made with sync'd emotes. Still, the coordination required to get 20+ people to actually listen and hit 'enter' at the same time can be very difficult, so I applaud their efforts in that, not to mention getting everyone to stand in precise lines...half the time i can't get 5 or 6 people to stand facing the same way for a quick screenshot!
All the same, I think the creator of this video got carried away with video editing effects, and spent more time playing with different fade in & fade outs than he (or she) did with actually matching the music to the actions in the video.
It's a good first (or second, or even third) video, but that doesn't make it one of the best in my book. Still, the creator gets kudos for trying, because that's more than I've ever done.
This one has been around for such a long time! Can you imagine the coordination it took for all those people to dance in sync? I do believe this was made even before the sync-dancing ability was implemented in GW. (that is to add * after any emote...such as /dance * which would make all people who just entered that command to sync together)
